Description of problem: On the Sony VAIO C140G (probably true for other laptops in the C1x0 line), the laptop would not power off or suspend. The shutdown sequence would proceed normally but at the end the power light remains on, and I have to hold the power button for 4 seconds to turn it off. Likewise with suspend-to-RAM. Instead of the power light blinking red it stays on and green. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. System->Shutdown 2. System->Suspend Actual results: System remains on after the relevant sequence has been carried out Expected results: System powered off / enters sleep mode Additional info: It has an Intel 3945 wireless chipset. I have manually turned off NetworkManager and modprobe -d the kernel module before attempting sleep.
The failure to power off is due to VMware modules not being stopped (the problem with closed source..). It still does not enter sleep mode properly.
On kernel 2.6.19-1.2919.fc7, the device would enter sleep state but still would not wake up
Sorry for the really slow response. Have you been able to try a newer kernel or Fedora release, and does it help at all? (Work on hibernation and suspend to ram is going on all the time, so you can generally expect that newer kernels will improve the situation).
